The exact deadline for all commits to the old SVN repo on sourceforge is Sunday, March 22nd, 12am UTC. At that time commit access to the repo will be disabled (except for the project admins), and the SVN repo will be imported to a new repo on github.

Once the import process is complete and the new repo online, I'll post another notification here in this thread. From then on the github repo will be the official repo of the FreeOrion project.

EDIT1: Due to some difficulties, the import procedure (step 4!) will be repeated on Wednesday, March 25th, at 6pm UTC (see below).EDIT2: Having the possibility to iron out some more issues we are going to repeat the import once again, most likely March 26th / 27th.EDIT3: Still working on the migration of the repository, because there are still some issues left we need to deal with. So we maybe won't be able to complete the migration today (March 27th).EDIT4: Migration to github is finally complete.

As one of our devs found another alternative to migrate the SVN repository that promises to give us a git repo with a cleaner, more consistent commit history, we will make another attemt at importing the repo. That means we still need to keep normal operation suspended, please refrain from cloning/forking/committing (unless for testing purposes).

The (hopfully last) attempt to migrate our repository is scheduled for today, March 26th, or tomorrow, March 27th (if something unforeseen happens).
